1t is the duty of every person who
has used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
to let it its wonderful qualities be
known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group,
Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all
throat and lung diseases. No per-
son can use it without immediate
relief. Three doses will relieve any
case, and we consider it the duty of
all Druggists to recommend it to the
poor, dying consumptive, at least to
try one bottle, a. $1,000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
case where it failed was reported.
Such a medicine ~ the GERMAN
SYRUP cannot be too widely known.
Ask your druggist about it. Sample
bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Reg
ular size, IS cents. Sold by all Drug
gists and Dealers, in the United
States and Canada.

ore was brought down last Satur.
day at single shot. Mr.. Kirkham
has refused 81, 900 for third inter.
est in the mine.
William Nankervs, Thos. Burk
and James Trythall, who have a
lease on the Sunday and Gopher
mines, on Boyle mountain, are get
ting out considerable ore. In the
Gopher mine they have struck a
streak of decomposed lead, and
are taking out several sacksful
every day. tbs very easily mined,
requiring no powder and very little
labor. Another streak of very rich
ore, six inches wide, is alSo being
worked.
The rich vein of ore struck in
the Irvine mine has, during the
week, decreased considerably in
size and a number Of men have
been laid off by the leasers. About
six hundred tons of ore have been
taken out which will give a hand
some return to Messrs. Carey and
Fulford, who hold the lease.

Proved = Success.

The trip made by Ed. Cowley on
Sunday last to BoylSmountain, with
his horses shod with snowshoes, was
very successfully accomplished.
The shoes on the animals worked
to a charm, and they logged along
over the snow with hardly leaving
the impression of their tracks. 1t
is wonderful how quick a horse
will adapt itself to the gait required
when wearing snowshoes. Mr..
Cowley started out early in the
morning. and returned the next
day, having delivered his load to
the IRVINE mine in good shape and
dispatch. Next season he proposes
to go anywhere desired, without
regard to the depth of snow, and
from the trials already made it is
safe to say that the trips to any
place in the country can be made
at any time during the winter
months.

Sol. Frankel, a member of the
defunct stock broker firm of Fran
KEEL Bros. of Virginia City, Nevada,
came near meeting his just deserts
on last Monday. The firm failed
with a bushel of money belonging
to those who had entrusted their
funds to it. Frankel was arrested
on several charges but after one
trial resulting in disagreement of
the jury the indictments were all
dismissed. He left for San Francis
co last Sunday and John Quinn,
one of his victims, who had lost
five thousand dollars through the
rascality of the firm, was a passen-
ger on the same train. A demand
was made for his money, which of
course was refused. The exasperated
miner drew a pistol and leveling it at
Frankel's head would have killed
him then and there had not a pas
senger frustrated the act by get
ting his thumb under the trigger
and the weapon was wrested from
the man. Frankel is going to Ger
many to live on his ill-gotten mon
ey but Quinn says he will have his
portion or kill him. Had Quinn
succeeded in killing Frankel be
would have been, under the law,
guilty of murder, but there would
been few tears shed over the loss of
the man who coldly concocted
the scheme to rob those who had
trusted to his honor and placed
their hard earned money in his
hands.

If the people of Ketchum eve
expect to make their town one Q
prosperous growth, attractive Il
new corners and a source Of pride
they will have to unite in an effor'
to accomplish such an object. The
success Of any town situated Al
Ketchum is depends entirely upon
the efforts of its residents. It re.
quires enterprise, public spirited.
ness and push to make town pros.
porous, and the continued applica-
ton of these great essentials will
lead to success. A town divided
against itself can never prosper. 1t
requires the united energies of every
one, the banker, storekeeper, arti-
san and laborer, and once employed
in the same direction prosperity
will crown the effort. The streets
put in neat and clean condition,
the back alleys purged of their
filth, piles of rotten debris and viii
famous odors and the possibilities
of an epidemic spreading reduced
to minimum, should be the first
move made. The care observed in
this direction alone creates favor
able impression upon the mind of
a visitor. Sidewalks should be i'm
proved and needed repairs to build
ings made in order to make the
town as attractive as possible. But
beyond all this unity is required in
the conduct of business affairs and
every effort made to make Ketchum
a central point. The coming sea-
son promises we'll, but the pros
poets can be made still brighter if,
instead of idly waiting and letting
things take their own course, an
energetic movement is made by
every one to work together for the
best interests of the town. Use
every inducement to attract travel
and trade here instead of driving it
away by the air of unconcern and a
don't-care spirit assumed by some.
Always speak well of your town
interest yourself in its improve
ment; be ready to make the most
of the opportunities offered. and
instead of listening to the wailings
Of a few chronic GROWERS, try to
lnfuse in them a spirit of pride and
enthusiasm in the advancement of
every measure that goes toward
healthy, vigorous, enter
prising town.

COpmvtOck X Clark.

During the present week, Mr..
Walter Clark, a gentleman we'll and
favorably known throughout this
section of the territory, purchased
a half interest in the dry goods and
clothing establishment recently
opened by A. w. Comstock. The
new firm will be known as COmstOck
& Clark and enters into business
with the surety of success. The flu
ture purchases made by the firm
will be on cash basis, from first
hands, paying at once for everything
ordered. By this method patrons
of the house will reap a benefit, as
the spot cash purchases will en-
able the firm to take advantage Of
the trade discounts given to such
class Of buyers. This will allow
the selling of all descriptions of
goods carried by the firm at
greatly reduced price, and the pro-
prietors make no idle boast when
they announce that they not only
intend to make their store the
most complete in every detail on
Wood River, but also to command
the patronage of the general public
by system of fair dealing and the
disposal of their goods at prices on
a far lower basis than heretofore
known in this vicinity. A sample
of the manner of doing business
by this firm is the order given early
this week to a we'll known eastern
mandatory for an invoice of one
thousand dollars worth of ladies
and children's foot wear, cash on
delivery, to be made expressly for
this house. With capital invested
fully equal to meet the demands
made, Messrs. Comstock & Clark
start out in their business venture
fully equipped to drive lucrative
and successful trade and. the best
wishes of their many friends will
attend them in their enterprise.

An April shower.

Wednesday last was decidedly a
wintry day. Early risers must have
been led to the conclusion that
Father Time had lost his grip and
let his machine fly backward a
couple of months before regaining
his hold. Three inches Of snow on
the ground that the previous night
was bare, and the heavy banks OF
clouds fast increasing the depth,
was not very suggestive of an early
spring. But the storm was of short
duration, the sun coming out dur
ing the day causing the snow to
rapidly disappear.

WOOD RIVER ORE RATES.
The Union Pacific new tariff
sheet gives the following rates on
ores:
From Huntington and all Wood
River points to Kansas City, $21
Omaha and Council Bluffs, $40;
Denver, ST.; Ogden and Salt Lake
city, $15.
The Salt Lake city smelter men
and local miners are hopping mad
over the rate from Ketchum to that
point and deplore the lack of ener-
gy, which prevents the building of
a narrow gauge road to this region,
when the ore could be brought
there for six dollars a ton. The
inequality of the new rate is shown
by charging but two dollars more to
haul the same ore a distance of 700
miles further. The rates from the
west have not as yet been published,
but private advices state that an
ore rate. over the o. r. 4 N. line
from Huntington to Portland, of
eight dollars ton has been given.
